Boxing vs Wing Chun - Self Defense and Martial Arts 

Listen kids, slow motion doesn't exist in real life.

That style demo of boxing vs wing Chun in the beginning is comedy gold 😂😂😂 LOVED IT!!!

Speaking as an ex boxer with a early martial arts background, boxing is handy to know in a 'street fight' as some people can block a punch, or 2 or maybe even 3 but knowing how to put combinations together is a good thing to use with your M.A. skills 🙏🏻

I agree that style doesn't matter, however, one fundamental problem and the reason you don't see pak sau very often in full contact combat sports is that human reaction time is slow and fixed. If a person can throw a punch to point of impact in 200ms or less, you will not even be able to move to block it before it connects. This is why range and movement are so vitally important. If the person is a skilled fighter, you won't be able to intercept a punch once it's in motion. You have to maintain distance and movement, then when the opponent closes distance, execute a premptive block and stop the potential punch before it's thrown. From there, maintaining contact and directing the opponent's position and movement will give Wing Chun a distinct advantage.

A boxer is very adaptive boxers are probably one of the most toughest fighers you can face

Wing Chun and boxing merge together? Genius.🔥🥊🥋

If you parry or block a boxer’s jab he’s not going to just continue with the combination.

Blud, please go to a boxing gym and try this😂

The first thing that matters in a street fight is running is your best friend

Thank you!!! More Wing Chun please!!

Everybodies got a plan until they get punched in the mouth

They last 2 sentences u said were pure Fn fighting GOLD. As an old street fighter. Etc etc etc. Let people make mistakes. And use them. Don't go in thinking you have a plan vuz it'll fall apart fast

He hasn’t been in reality yet that’s why he’s so confident in his spinning fist move🤣🤣

I really love your videos! Thanks from Hungary! 🙏👊

I did a pretty good block recently, and these videos have really been helping me. Thanks for filming them.

Excellent video!

I really like this, he’s doesn’t stick to wing chun solely, he uses other techniques from other martial arts. The thing is that there is time and places for different martial arts and moves, there is a time when wing chun would have been better than boxing, or when boxing would have been better than wing chun.

Good job Kevin 🌺👊

One of the things I’ve found that works well with boxers at that range is to disrupt their timing and distance. If you can drag them across their centerline even a little bit off the cross it often disrupts the hook.

Respect to an instructor that explains technical and physical reasons why you do technics. To many instructors teach by copy rather than understanding. The last sentence is key.

Anyone who seriously thinks he is going to stop a jab, cross, hook combination with this stuff is off his rocker and has clearly never fought a boxer.

Another distinct advantage boxers have is full contact sparring. You can train all you like but if you never feel full contact you will be lost in a fight. None of that soft body sparring either.

I would like to see any of these guys in a boxing ring.

Well said. Thanks

Everyone saying it won’t work never really fought before and it shows. It ultimately comes down to the person not the style. If the person dedicated his time to train to the utmost it’ll work. Same for boxing or any sport

This would make for solid learning during sparring sessions too

Show myself one boxer that just stays still throwing a combo. Head will move off the centre line they will slip in the combo to the left since he threw the left hook.

Love this content.

Good content for people who are looking to incorporate into daily training .

Perfect videos man.

Absolutely awesome ❤️

I fought a boxer once and took some damage, but I hyperextended his knee and he was done after that. I knew I couldn't engage him in just hands.

Bro try as much as you can but you'll can't hide by a Humble Boxer...😈😊🥊👑⚔️🐐☝️

Every Martial artist get his ass beat in a real boxing match..it never fails

Nonetheless, I like these videos there’s something to be said which is nice to see

💯

I know right. If i get a quarter every time an opponent just kept their hands exactly where they tried to punch me for 30 seconds...well...I would have zero. 😂

Very good video 😮

The wing chung hand flurry is hilarious 😂 a boxer would beat reality into anyone using this kockamammie

Thank you

I don't know wing chun, i don't judge it, but damn boxing is "stylish"

One thing to teach, another thing to do. Any decent boxer beats Wing Chun every time

Going to add this to in support of Wing Chun. You regularly practice strikes to the eyes, throat etc.. Kicks are usually for the knees to break and tear ligaments. (like kicking someone's knee sideways) Everything I just stated, is illegal in MMA/Octagon/cage w/e for obvious reasons. Knee breaks like that can be career ending. It was an martial art designed to finish fights quickly and get away by a woman being harassed by men. Being successful in competition, does not equal success in an actual fight, but we don't have safe analog for that so.... here we are.

"Style vs. style doesn't matter"... such true words. The endless debate about which martial art or style is "best" is meaningless and irrelevant if it doesn't take into account the practitioner and the training method. Live training against progressive resistance is the only way to develop true hand-to-hand combat and self-defense capability, regardless of the art or style employed.

I dont like wing chun but this guy is good at it. He says intelligent things. My problem is this: is wing chun the only type of kung fu? It doesn't seem like there is much options to choose from. I would thing there are literally hundreds of types of kung fu but wing chun is the default forced on people. I strongly feel there are better kung fu and they only let people do this because they keep better for themselves. If so I wouldn't be interested. It feels like being controlled and limited.

Im a defensive counter fighter who has fought a number of registered (yet still amatuer) MMA fighters. My defensive counter style has provided many valubale lessons to less diverse fighters. Muay Thai, BJJ, and standard boxing dominate the MMA community however a wing chun thats been developed through application mixed with judo creates a beautiful combo. I have stories im proud to share with generations beyond me

This is the first video I have seen so far I would recommend another strategy: Looking back and several years experimenting crossover full contact sparring I would not recommend to enter a boxers terrain by using wing chun or similar in fight techniques. Whenever I had the role of the boxer it was very easy to simply "overpower" the wing chun practicioner. I only but constantly trained the basics of wing chun so I wasn't the highlight as a wing chun fighter, but I found it very hard to intercept a boxers combo im any way. Other practicioners had the same experience. It turned out to be much more efficient to instantly take hands up and throw your body sidewards into him and make him fall or tumble, if possible push him off and simply run away. If this would be for a street fight situation and you know he is a boxer and is coming for you this could work better than expected even though its that simple. When it comes to fight a boxer in a ring or crossover sparring with another style there is always the rule "avoid HIS terrain" Don't wrestle a wrestler, don't punch a boxer, don't clinch a thaiboxer, and dafuq don't fight someone with a sword if you are unarmed. 😂 Guys you do great videos and I really appreciate all the work you guys did and do. Keep it up. If you like try what I recommended. 😊 Maybe its worth a try.

This guy really is the goat!

Very nice. 💥

I like when they tenderize and say ora ora ora ora 😅

Just combine wing chun and boxing . You will get powerful punches with good trapping

feints really really fuck up an overactive defense like this as well, if you’re moving to block every individual punch, you need to start moving the SECOND that you see them start to throw the punch, that means it will be extremely easy to get you to fall for feints. you’ll either overcommit to feints leaving you open else where, or have to hesitate before blocking to determine if it’s a real hit, making it really hard to react in time if it is a real punch. managing range and using head movement or shelling up when you can’t will just alway be superior to bringing your hands down away from your face.

Lol! "The best way for wing Chun to beat boxing is to then start using boxing instead." I'm paraphrasing, but you get the gist.

I like this teacher

Thank you sir

The more I watch wing chun videos that more I see techniques that are used in boxing. He went from a cross block (used by Archie Moore and old George Forman) back to a high guard to a weave.

Problem with martial arts is there is zero head movement

GREAT ❤❤❤

So few understand this. Great information! JUN FAN

However, you are right! You show self-defense techniques, not professional sports! This is also necessary!❤🎉

If the public ever saw what some of the Martial arts people can do to a boxer if they lock up one of those arms or do sweep or throw on them.theyd be horrified..

Do not think for a second youll beat a well trained boxer

Yeah works in slow motion, won't work in real life. Trust me I wish this stuff worked if only because of how cool it looks.

Wing Chun use of hands to parry is it's flaw. A good boxer will feint to draw the parry hand and counter. You see it all the time in boxing when someone gets to comfortable parrying shots away from their chin

THANK YOU! I have always said - "Styles don't fight each other, PEOPLE do". I have seen so much "ABC vs XYZ" BS on the internet. At the end if the day, it's the FIGHTER that dictates outcome, not the art he trains. Particular "arts" put particular tools in your box. Having different tools is great. Ultimately, it boils down to how well you USE those tools tho.

you know one of the greatest boxers of all time imo floyd mayweather basically uses a form of wing chun, the best defensive fighter of all time used the philly shell basically a form of wing chun defense so well he was only really hit/ rocked maybe 5 or 6 times in his career and has never lost

Easier said than done when dealing with fast jabs

😂 literally every single time a Wing Chun "master" fights a boxer the boxer DOMINATES. its never close. never competitive.... its a slaughter. Wing Chun master gets slept. Every. Single. Time.

He said it at the end

feints, and striking while moving instead of coming in straight. Not sure how many boxers will actually over commit without using angles and movement.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth... - Mike Tyson

Most wing chun guys will not pull this off against a amateur boxer

Fight it's all about Power, Speed, Timing And Precision and good defense if you have this doesn't matter your style you're dangerous.

My combos for street fight (ONLY!!!!!) is jab, right elbow, jab, cross right, jab, left elbow, jab,

Another great lesson, thank you my friend!

Thank you for your video. Most martial arts aren’t accessible in a lot of places. There’s no wing chun schools where I live and training martial arts gets expensive for a lot of people. Is it possible to learn from videos?

Love the intro and wing chun is great, but catching a boxers hands probably wouldn’t be my first option due to their speed. I would use the No shadow kick to the inside of the knee and instead of catching the Jab maybe striking the shoulder or inside of the arm 🤔🥊

Although you have an immediate disadvantage because your reacting this is the best demonstration of wing chun for self defense

To people saying that this wont work in a fight and he does it slowly and that's not realistic to an actual fight, listen, I do both boxing and wingchun, the way they train you is slow and steady first, so you can get use to the movement and see what you gotta do then you add the speed to it once you got it down, that's how you build the muscle memory, if u tried learning that shit at full speed u aint gonna learn shit all, and for people that are like just do boxing it always works, boxing is very simple therefor can be easily countered by someone that knows how, boxing and karate are good when ur fighting someone else thats also using it, in a fight with no rules against people that know other stuff its 50/50

That advice takes me back to my childhood when i would literally make my sister hit herself. "Quit hitting yourself. Why are you hitting yourself!?" Then I became an adult.

Hey Mr goat. So what is your all opinions? Which is better for real self defense situations? Krav Maga or BJJ ?

This is funny lol.. the icing on the cake was “I may even have to use boxing”. It’s best to stick to arts that “move” instead of being static because fights MOVE.. things are in Motion. FAST motion.

This requires constant training dude

I want to see wing chun in a real fight against a boxer. Just want to see something for research.

I like to combine George Foreman’s Crossguard with chain punches

What matters when you fight a boxer is that you throw wing chun out the window and use reliable techniques that work

Love watching Chinese grandmasters fighter MMA fighters with the MMA guy using basic boxing punches wiping out the Grandmasters. Not so easy to grab a moving hand. Make a mistake and it is lights out.

Usually I will laugh at this kind of demo, but seeing Sean Strickland man handled Izzy using parry techniques just like these, I have to nod my head in agreement.

I practice jkd/mma and still use a lot from wing chun. The form and trapping isn't the problem, it's how they try to apply it. Watch how Kamaru Usman ko'd Jorge Masvidal, Usman handtrapped to a right hand. Watch how Jorge knocked out Darren Till, Jorge did a shifting handtrap to hooks combo and Darren knocked Jorge down earlier in their fight, with a handtrap combo. Handtraps work, it's just a moment in time and you don't wait for connection to trap, you attack with the trap. The place where chi sau sensitivity really works is in grappling; such as when you are mounted on an opponent THAT'S where you can more easily roll elbows over their guard and flow around their arms to throw punches (not that you can't roll an elbow over their guard in standup, both Jon Jones and Tony Ferguson have done this in MMA)

Show it in the ring bro. Pls don't mind

I don't think u can stop it against someone who is actually a boxer. There will be single jabs, distance control, footwork, faints, damaging your soul &body and more.

It's definitely a good defense technique against a boxer however the last punch the left hook to the head could have been also a hook to the mid section or to the liver.Boxing moves are very unpredictable.Good video

Close Quarter Combat is all about self awareness, reflexes and readiness of the body and attacking/defending limbs. This is achieved through PRACTICE, PRACTICE and PRACTICE. Just like doing math right or driving a vehicle. Knowing how to do it is not enough, it is practice that makes practicality effective. Coaches will talk and guide, that's their job. Through RU-vid that's all we can get. But to be effective in application, watching videos only will do nothing useful. Exercise and practice. Find a partner and spar, spar, spar!!!

I 👂🏼 you brotha man

It’s not the style, it’s WHO is behind the style.🧐

Man, I enjoy your videos and I'm subscribed, but that defense...it simply doesn't work on a real life situation. Best option would be blocking, ducking and striking back or grappling. Agood footwork, leading to switch angles would help too.

Now do a knife and gun disarmament demo.

I’m looking to start boxing I wanna know though if boxing teaches you to parry punches so if someone threw a jab could you parry it down do gyms teach this or do you have you got to learn this yourself kind of thing and will I learn how to defend incoming punches so if someone threw a liver shot could I put my guard down a little to react to that punch? Sorry for the bad grammar I don’t speak much English

Do you recommend wing chun or aikido, because I don't know which one to choose...

I think more pressure would have better sold this.
